Perstorp completes its offer of C8-C10 Oxo Alcohols, by introducing Isononanol (INA), Iso-Dodecene and Oxo Oil 9N to the product portfolio. The new complete offer is made possible by utilizing synergies with Perstorp parent company PETRONAS Chemicals Group Berhad (PCG), one of the largest integrated chemicals producers in Southeast Asia and part of the PETRONAS Group. The plant has been operational since early August.

The new additions to the product portfolio will be manufactured by PETRONAS Chemicals Isononanol Sdn Bhd (PC INA) at the Pengerang Integrated Complex in Malaysia.

“These new products complete our product offer of C8-C10 Oxo Alcohols for customers in the Asia Pacific plasticizers industry, increasing our relevance and creating a more substantial presence for Perstorp. While for the customers in Malaysia, PCG’s marketing arm, PETRONAS Chemicals Marketing (Labuan) Ltd. (PCML) will oversee the product distribution,” says Betty Lu, Perstorp’s VP Business Oxo & Plasticizers.

The new portfolio additions further strengthen Perstorp's strategic commitment in the Asian market, beyond a recently invested state-of-the-art penta plant in India.
